We Need To Catch Our Breath
Trees serve as a vital part of our ecosystem. We often forget they serve more purpose than looking pretty or giving us something fun to climb as kids. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, “It is proposed that one large tree can provide a day’s supply of oxygen for up to four people” through photosynthesis.
Deforestation robs the Earth and all living things of much-needed oxygen, so LE was right to be concerned. Science geeks will gladly remind you more than half of Earth’s oxygen is created by the ocean, which may be what AL was getting at. Still, their phrasing made it sound like the idea of trees providing oxygen was preposterous, making them appear confidently incorrect.
